HR 590 United States House · 119th Congress

_______ Act of 2024

This bill amends federal law to require state governors (or the D.C. mayor) to consent before National Guard members can be ordered to perform full-time duty in their state or the District of Columbia. It specifically applies to operations requested by the President or Secretary of Defense, adding consent requirements for state chief executives and the D.C. mayor. The bill also explicitly makes such National Guard duty subject to the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. §1385), which restricts military involvement in domestic law enforcement.
